No words were spoken that night.
The two old men slept soundly and woke up around seven in the morning.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I smelled a strong bean aroma, which immediately aroused my appetite.
"Boy, what delicious food did you prepare?" Wu Tianlong rubbed his eyes, stroked his beard, and asked.
Su Dingshan was also very curious, so he turned around and lay on the edge of the upper bunk, looking down.
When he saw the three large lunch boxes of soy milk and seven or eight large reddish-brown fried dough sticks over a foot long wrapped in oil paper on the small table, his eyes lit up and his appetite increased greatly.
"Jianguo, where did you get this?" Su Dingshan asked.
"I bought it on the platform when the car stopped just now!" Xu Jianguo said with a smile, but he was obviously not telling the truth. These things were all from Du Yu in the space.
"Hurry, hurry, I've been hungry for a long time. These fried dough sticks look delicious!" Wu Tianlong said.
As they talked, the two of them got down from the upper bunk, sat on the lower bunk, and started eating happily.
Xu Jianguo looked at the two old men who were as happy as two children, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth involuntarily.
"He is indeed a veteran soldier. Even when he knows that someone wants to kill him, he can still remain calm and composed. This kind of mentality alone is not comparable to that of ordinary people. If it were someone else, he would probably have lost his appetite long ago." Xu Jianguo thought to himself.
At this moment, Su Dingshan's voice came to his ears: "What are you thinking about? Come and eat quickly, it will get cold soon."
"Hey, here I come!" Xu Jianguo said with a smile, then he sat aside, picked up a lunch box of hot soy milk and took a sip.
After breakfast, the three of them washed up and then returned to the bedroom to wait.
Time passed very slowly, and at half past ten in the morning, there was a knock on the bedroom door.
After Xu Jianguo opened the door a little, he looked at the conductor standing outside and asked, "What's going on?"
"Hello, comrade. The train is about to arrive at Bingcheng Station. Please prepare to get off!"
"Okay, got it, thank you!"
After seeing off the conductor, Su Dingshan asked, "Jianguo, after we get off the train, what should we do next?"
"The commander has made all the arrangements. Someone will come to the station to pick us up."
"Um!"
Soon, just after eleven o'clock, the train entered the Ice City Railway Station and stopped steadily on the platform.
Xu Jianguo and the other two were not in a hurry to get off the car. Instead, they waited until most people had left before coming out of the compartment.
At this time, the space servants had already been sent out by Xu Jianguo and were scattered near the exit of Bingcheng Railway Station.
When they walked out of the exit, Xu Jianguo immediately saw two young soldiers in military uniforms among the crowd waiting to pick up passengers. They were holding a sign with the three big words "Xu Jianguo" written on it.
He did not walk over immediately, but opened the Eye of Time and Space and observed carefully before walking towards them with Su Dingshanhe and Wu Tianlong.
"Hello, I'm Xu Jianguo!"
"Hello, Chief!" The two young soldiers immediately stood at attention and saluted upon hearing this.
After Xu Jianguo returned the gift, he said, "Let's go!"
"Commander, we need to check your ID, please forgive me!" one of the soldiers said.
Xu Jianguo nodded and didn't care. He thought that if these two people didn't check his ID, he would be suspicious.
After handing the document to one of them and waiting for him to check it, Xu Jianguo asked, "What are the next arrangements?"
"Commander, the order we received is to send you a car loaded with enough gasoline, food and maps, and you can return on your own." The young soldier said after returning Xu Jianguo's ID to him.
"Okay, let's go!" Xu Jianguo nodded and said.
Soon, the three of them left the Ice City Railway Station and saw a military jeep parked in the backyard of a guesthouse not far from the station.
The moment Xu Jianguo saw the jeep, he opened his Eye of Time and Space and checked the entire car from inside to outside, but did not find any problems.
He also saw four barrels of gasoline in 50-liter military barrels in the trunk of the car, as well as a variety of food, and there were as many as ten military canteens filled with water.
Two soldiers led the three people to the front of the car. After Xu Jianguo pretended to walk around the car, he said to them, "Thank you!"
"Commander, if there is nothing else, we will go back first. I wish you a safe journey!"
"Okay, if we meet again, I'll treat you to a drink!" Xu Jianguo said. After that, he took out two boxes of peonies from his bag and gave one to each of them.
After seeing the two off, Xu Jianguo opened the trunk and put the two old men's bags in it. Then the three of them got in the car, drove out of the guesthouse, and headed north out of the city.
The two old men sat in the back seat. After the car had driven for a while, Su Dingshan finally spoke up, "Jianguo, it's a long drive. Can you handle it?"
"Grandpa Su, don't worry, we can handle it!" Xu Jianguo said with a smile.
"Damn it, I'm a single man. If I had a granddaughter or a granddaughter-in-law, I would introduce her to you even if it violates the marriage law!" Wu Tianlong said with a face full of regret.
"You shameless old man, what else do you want to do? Believe it or not, I will tell this to my granddaughter-in-law when I get back, and see how she looks at you, this old and perverted man!" Su Dingshan rolled his eyes at Wu Tianlong and said unhappily.
Wu Tianlong was not angry either. He smiled and said, "I just want to express my inner feelings. Old man Su, you are not allowed to tell your grandson's wife!"
Xu Jianguo listened to the bickering between the two old children in the back seat, and his heart gradually calmed down. Unconsciously, he began to miss his family, Wen Sitian, Funiu, Daya, Erya, Wenwen and Lele, and of course Xiaohei and Erhei.
